    International Festival of Computer Art
        'Chaos Constructions 2005'


Wlodek



   August 2005 brazenly shining sun, blue in the sky,
plowed wide collars, and even to provoke
Wlodek-and action-adventure to go to Peter is not a day
opening of the Festival of Computer Art 'Chaos Constructions
2005 ', as before. At least for a day!

   Like any serious adventure :-), this also required
careful preparation, thought and ... costs. Had
buy a mobile phone, this disgusting 'gadget' (which is really
exactly), it is not necessary in everyday life. Edakii
tamagochchi once every three days meowing that it is time
feed, in the sense to charge the battery. For all subsequent
months, I spoke at a meow and ftykal the plug
more often than called ... During the trip had this same animal
tolerate and even enjoy.

   Another bought a telephoto lens 'Jupiter 21M' to take 
pictures awards ceremony. CC'05, as the previous CC'04, held in

Leningrad Palace of Youth, and the room was me for 'sighted'.

   Pre-arranged with Vlad Sotnikov of 'night and day' one
night. And Friday morning, still staying in the car, found that
in fact, dwell in Oleg Senin aka Black Fox. Learned
Of course, on the mobile phone ...

   Moscow railway station waiting room at six o'clock in the 
morning is full of passengers and a sweeper. Among the fuss Met

Twins jtn-a and bolek-a, who came from Perm, an hour later.
Oleg soon appeared, and we all went to him.

   Settlement in the area Shuvalov Park - St. Petersburg, too. 
Quite another floor and green, filled with poignant

morning freshness, but still, Peter. Where is the notorious
'City', I never entered. Probably somewhere in either
ravine, or along the river that guessed the house where he lives
Oleg. You can laugh, but his hut on the edge. In a literal 
sense. Need to walk through the village, dodging on 
nostalgically bumpy, sandy primers among gardens and coppices, 
along endless web hanging on poles of electrical and

telephone wires. Yes, in the village have landline phone. AND
plumbing, and gas. There's just ... silence. Round the clock 
gives a felt Vyborg highway. It is not visible, but it is 
somewhere nearby, in coppices.


   Photo does not transmit sound. Imagine that the previous
paragraph you have not read, and wish yourself poobitat in this 
corner ... at least half of my life. And meantime we hide 
cameras and go to 'real' city with its tram, metro and

stations. One of these stations, namely, the Ladoga,
Two hours later arrive sq, kq, and Diver.

   Guys we met, surprisingly encountered (picture
Repin 'Unexpected'), :-). And parted. Not long before
evening ...

   The Sun in late August, even then, if the sky is cloudless.
Wearing a T-shirt and light jeans right near the square
Ladoga station, according to Nagle, on the grass in the 
courtyard of the neighboring home in front of all homeless 
people and police districts, I went walk around the city. 
Finally, you can now just a little without Ironically say 
Wlodek visited Peter :-). Ride on tour van, and then on the 
river tram. Soak up all the avalanche of information from the 
two guides on the rumor, of course, impossible. So I can not 
remember what it was for the home embankment on which the guide 
drew our attention familiar, well-delivered professional voice

saying into the microphone: "... Look to your left, to the 
balcony, which sits naked Petersburger ...'. We mowed views - on

balcony of a two-storey mansion, with his back turned to the 
audience, flashed bright white ass huge man ... And they showed 
us house where he lives, Mikhail Boyarsky, the window of his 
apartment and stood in the home of his car. I wonder why? ..


   '... Every penny will go here for, to shove a gun
bull ... ' - At times feeling like such a character and I
photographed together with all of the Palace and near the 
'Aurora' at the monument to Peter and against the background of 
the Kazan Cathedral ... That, they say, See: Wlodek was in St. 
Petersburg! 

   In winter 1984 I first came to Leningrad with friends
institution. We stood in the museum hall and his eyes have read
the world famous lines: 'They died all. Tanya was left alone. "
Walked through snow-covered streets and among the bustle of the 
main avenue of stopping sight over the scarlet carnation: 'If 
this bombardment side of the street is most dangerous. "


   Once Wlodek was, was in St. Petersburg ...


   By the evening, to roll through the city to light stupor, I 
walked into Internet lounge, the one on Nevsky Prospect, where 
once we led Unbeliever. In the loneliness I spent at the 
computer near hours reviewing the forums and zx.pk.ru CC'05 and 
sending on fresh the next couple of 'hot' SMS to friends 
already ehavshim in trains. 

   And Vega, and Black Fox spend the day and slept in the LDM, 
preparing Spectrum Day CC'05, and yet we have fallen on their 
heads :-). Diver fell slightly earlier ;-), I slowly approached

Youth Palace through the park near the waterfront. Towards the 
twisted Pedal Bike LAV, we exchanged greetings with gestures.


   In the gathering twilight, when he met the same yard LDM, 
Black Fox, Diver and Wlodek moved into the familiar side of the 
avenue Education. Vlad (Vega) live in the same general area. He

remained in the hall, and went on to prepare equipment, and Oleg
presented the key to your house. Oh, how it's all familiar, 
you're not forget our adventures in LAS-and in 2001, eh?


   Vlad's apartment number - 800-something - I have a lot 
confused. This Well for a house so big there is not a house, it 
is generally Building any! House, however, was the usual 
nine-panel, however, very extensive.


   We got the key, unlocked the door ... Well, I'm already 
quoting myself four years ago.


   The first floor, the cool evening, a table, on the table and 
keyboard mouse, and sistemnik ... on the balcony. Through the 
window frame push wire. That's right, poluvirtualno:), Diver-in 
was to spend a sleepless night, dodelyvaya their competitive 
work PC Vlad.


   And we rushed with Oleg in the midnight darkness, to his 
home in Shuvalov park. This trip was something, because Oleg

had to, bringing me back to LDM! A few
minutes I already felt very hot. Partly on the rate of forced 
marches, in part of remorse that I like this man straining. 
Oleg, thank you naiogromneyshee you!


   ... In the morning, with svezhezaryazhennym 'gadget' in the 
pocket, and two bags on their shoulders, I have to choose the 
city ... More One thank you, mom Oleg - and a tasty breakfast, 
and for a small walk to the fork, on which already find any way 
to city. At CC'05.



   'Speccy rulez!!!' - Halfway through I found an SMS from 
Rion-a. Well Now, therefore, time to move on 'now', the signal

accepted:).


   ... All the familiar, the same Palace of Youth, the same 
lobby ... For the first time these days I meet Vlad Sotnikova - 
at the reception desk. A few people have a pile beside the 
table. This time without umbrellas. Daedmen with the same 
laptop, now familiar, probably already over. Pasha (Flast) and 
Vassily (DJ I-Kick) fit later, Vasya not want to pay an 
entrance fee:) and remains in the yard. Mitchell, Cardinal ... 
Who else? Sparsely. 

   And in the hall half-empty. Even a quarter-empty. This is 
not the the proverbial glass of advertising, which for someone 
still half full. People a little. But many computers -

Show retrotehniki girded around the perimeter of the entire Far 
tambour auditorium, and somewhere among its motley variety, 
including Friends 'pits' and, of course, Spectrum must be a 
pearl - ATM-Turbo 2 + in the LCD monitor, the pride of Roman 
Chuunin (CHRV / NedoPC group). Here it is, this machine. The 
elegant building, PCklaviatura, flat screen TV - all, 'as 
people'. Someone in vain trying to 'get out of Windows', 
thinking that in front of him 'pisyuk' with Spectrum emulator. 
Realizing what had happened, with surprise guest departs ...

   Maksagora at the festival there, but as it turned out, he
closely monitoring all going to live in
Internet.


   Four months later:

   WB: We're talking with Max Timonin, Maksagorom. Is
December and ends in 2005. Max, what can you say about
2005 results on the Spectrum, as you imagine it?

   M: I imagine this: the outcome is not to say that the 
breakthrough, but it is not depressing. Platform alive and 
kicking stable, there is no longer decline, as seen in 2000

year, the game's release. The most important thing for me - is 
that continues to go 'iron'. Of course, in many respects this 
achievement our group, NedoPC, but I think this is largely the 
merit Forum zx.pk.ru, which brought together including 
'zhelezyachnikov' and thanks to which there is a strong 
exchange of ideas and programs, and 'iron'.


   WB: As far as I know you're watching on the Internet and 
other Sources of the progress of the festival 'Chaos 
Constructions 2005'. How do you think, was whether he event of 
the year, and how you assess it? 

   M: I appreciate it a solid five. In principle, we can
name and event of the year. He showed that demomeyking, stage
Spectrum alive, came out quite good demo, though, I've seen on 
the web, some one some demos criticism, I argue with them ... I 
believe that a demo of how 'KKolor', showed that on the Spectrum

implemented by no means all, or rather, the limit in the 
programming not yet been achieved, especially in design and 
beauty. 

   WB: What are the successes of NedoPC, what are the plans for 
next year and especially: What is your attitude to a certain 
pessimism Romana Chuunin?


   M: The novel Chuunin actually an optimist. But while he was 
still realist. He and I are looking to the future rather 
optimistically - to the sense that the 'iron' will be released. 
How long - it Of course, time will tell. As for prospects, so 
yesterday I e was a novel, and together we will bring to mind a 
controller for connection to the Spectrum SVGA monitor. Still 
not fully driven, left somewhere rezyuk tweak somewhere to add 
a capacitor that is, in general, already everything works. So 
wait a short time Issue SVGA converter! Also conducted 
experimental design video controller design for the Spectrum on 
the basis of modern element basis, while that in the form of 
drawings. Further, it is expected to will soon have to specific 
ATM Turbo: scarves with slots. ATM - a wonderful computer, but 
one of its shortcomings is the lack of a slot system. About 
future plans yet keep silent, but we have other ideas.


   WB: Max, if not heavy 'burden programmer'? As far as I
noticed you put it on myself not so long ago and it was in 
connection with ATM Turbo.


   M: I would like to have more time, that's the problem. A
program-is interesting, it's not hard, it was only time.

   WB: I think our readers will be interested to know that for
projects you are 'piled' on myself, and especially about the 
project operating system TASiS.


   M: I do not consider myself a really strong programmer, and 
therefore say that I am alone 'swung' to discover something

volume, is not necessary. But co-author, I was involved in
develop two mega projects for the ATM. First, in creating
new ROM xBIOS the so-called Virt-TR-DOS, with built-in
low-level (instruction-level chip) emulation 1818VG93,
allows working with images of floppy disks is almost like a
present, with a high degree of compatibility. Well, plus the
in this ROM is still a lot of all menu settings, as well as
ability to install software memory protection than 128Kb
from unauthorized access by unauthorized programs. In general,
indeed a full BIOS came out. And secondly, it
Operating System TASiS, about which was the issue. In short, 
this radically redesigned specifically for the architectural and

graphic features of ATM system iS-DOS Chic. Now this
system works in a text screen 80x25, supported by
new control architecture machine restarts after the dispatcher
memory, is able to keep a resident. A great plans ahead
further development of the system, a graphical environment for
her. Apart from these two mega-projects, where I am, once 
again, only collaborator, I am writing in details. For example, 
xBIOS out, but required package of tools to download and run 
the disk images save changes to them, etc.. This package was 
created by me in OS CP / M. In addition, in the same system I 
have created viewers, graphics and music player compiled 
AYmoduley. In my TASiSe koderskie skills while weaker, but 
there as an exercise I wrote a couple of simple ones programmok 
and also localized by the system software with the usual bunch 
of iS-DOS. In future, in parallel with the increasing 
experience in coding, perhaps Mature and to some completely 
independent project, for example, toys and demos ...


   WB: Thank you! Good luck!

   M: And thank you! 'Spectrum rulez'!

   And the beginning of the festival, and the first few minutes 
it just make us happy. Feels good, well-coordinated work of 
many of the organizers. All works, everything goes according to 
schedule, is not obstructed. Especially annoying to watch a 
small number of visitors, the most successful Festival of all 
'CC'xx' is obtained, and check out a little there coma.


   A powerful projector reproduces the large, bright image. All
works are shown in the record, and according to explanations
director of the festival, it allows the 'avoid overlapping with
Real-playing ', but on the other hand,' the world has not 
learned SVGA transmit up to fifteen feet. " But the world has 
learned transfer control of the keyboard and mouse to a distance

and could put the computer next to a projector and a 'panel
management 'to make the wings. Anyway, in writing, as in
record. I hope the 'Square of Antares' this time will not be 
repeated. Yeah, of course! Repeat his name, 'on-demand 
viewers'! Y leading hand compendium of last year's work. Thus, 
at just in case. As well as T-shirts with symbols of frenzied 
CC'05 price.


New work as little as visitors. What a disappointment.

   11 pictures, apparently without any preselekta because sift
nothing. One of the Rion-ovsky work gives himself away ... in
literally, with a face. But the first place then it will have
Misterious from Dm (ex-Dimidrol-a) - very careful
manual work, may not be as outrageous as Flash Rion-a, but
quiet earthly landscape people turned out more favorably than
to the stellar fury. Rion also still sits serenely on
front row mezzanine with expensive DSLRs on the knees and
did not comment.


            Misterious (c) Dm



                Flash (c) Rion



   I rewrote a draft assessment score in the separation
ballot, voting is almost in real time, and there
hope that the summing up will not last for a second day on
deep night when the train is already gone and in direct and 
figurative senses.


   AY-competition (music, explain to nespektrumistov ;-)) -
expanse for visitors and demonstrators show retrotehniki.
In the same notice and Dmitry Didenko, Pr0mus-well, old friend
More on the festival ParaDiGMus-2002. His smile can only be
good! Dmitri now, here look, is a prime example
nespektrumista enthralled by ATM-Coy Roman Chuunin. Close
severe KGBplus and modest wife Romana. And on a flat screen
wonder companies unwound once the game plot. So no more
tempted to 'go to the Windows', the car natseplena
label: 'ZX Spectrum ...'. World is divided into spektrumistov,
amizhnikov and others. Very little 'MSXualistov' near 'pits'
but with skill. Subsequently, one of the most modern and
clever MSX-s - Daewoo CPC-400S - even backfire on the forum
spektrumistov and ehah.

   Several unsuccessful, the organizers decided the issue with 
the ads on competitions, nothing blurts into the microphone, 
only to displayed text. It is easy to miss the beginning of the 
next competition. Emerged from the hall at the wrong time to 
smoke or eat rescue comrades, frantically scribbling SMS-ki. I 
simply extract old, since 2000, the 'badge' with symbols of 
CC000, large writing on him his nickname and number of mobile 
phone and hang it on his a large bag, which is 'my' place, the 
benefit of free seats in the hall more than a place of 
employment. And he go with a small shoulder bag, which are 
composed of photographic, documents and so on. And left a big 
bag - one big blanket on a cold case. To your health!


   As has already become customary that the Demo - most 
important, but means something, so be it. The people, as 
always, pulls in Hall. All zatsenivayut KKolor from Triebkraft 
and 4D, but for some reason, I left feeling more waiting - 
'well, yeah a little. " Not only a few guests at the festival, 
and little work. A deme something Of course, pleasant. Many 
people, myself including, 'caught' and Work from skrju - 
'USSR2185'. Syurrrealistichny video series, beating the 
unconscious. And with the sound again, something strange, or am 
I again understood. Works of CPU, rather, is really like

greetings to friends and colleagues demoscene, without claims 
for prizes simply from the heart. That's all. Plus a drop in 
other categories. AND unforgettable 'Square Antares', why are 
funny, the second once it is no longer a joke, why? ..


   Muzakeram and coders were given the opportunity
compete in real time in the late afternoon were
promulgated by their work, and a vote.
